Doc Rivers views Kobe Bryant memorial as a form of catharsis: “Today will help”

Clippers coach has weighed in on yesterday’s ceremony at the Staples Center.

Los Angeles Clippers coach has shared his emotional thought about yesterday’s memorial for Kobe Bryant at the Staples Center.

“It’s just been a very heavy month. It’s everywhere,” Rivers said of Los Angeles, which has been grieving since the helicopter crash that killed Kobe and Gianna Bryant and seven others on Jan. 26. “There’s days you get away from it, like, the games are great now because you’re focused on the games, but you know, it’s just … it’s broken or just brokenhearted. It’s been a brokenhearted city. Probably something I’ve never seen before, ever, anywhere, and it’s still there a little bit, for sure. But today will help.”
